Monday Sketch Challenge!!

We have a Guest Designer joining us today for our Monday Sketch Challenge!!

Hello, my name is Brenshevia and I am the mother of two and the grandmother of three. As you will see, my grand babies are the primary subject of my pages, I LOVE scrapping those faces! I have been scrapping since 2007 and it’s my favorite way to relax. I am not sure I have a “style” per se but I do tend to love shabby chic and clean and simple more so than any other. Most times I let the photo dictate my style. 

I am currently admin and founder of About a Boy, About a Girl, Let’s Get Sketchy and Colorful Creations. Yes I am a glutton for punishment. lol I love scrapping as you can see! 

Please stop by any of my online scrapbooking. There you will find a wonderful group of ladies and a ton of great challenges to help you become inspired. Again, thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!

You have all month to play along.. make 1 Layout or 2 cards, or 2 tags or 2 ATC's using the sketch.

Can't wait to see what you create and I am sure Brenshevia will appreciate seeing your projects too.

More for the 1st Sketch Challenge

The great thing about sketches is you can use them to inspire you in any way you feel like.  Layout sketches become card inspiration and vice versa!!

Some of the team took this first layout sketch and used it to create cards and ATCs.  This makes your sketches all the more useful!!

Design Team Monday!

The Design Team is back for another round or reveals for you!

This week we are working off a PageMaps sketch for inspiration.

Check out the sketch....

And now a peek at what the team created with it....

Virginia

I don't have a ton of Christmas pics (shockingly b/c I have a million "other" kind of pics) - anyway I plan to change that this year but for this layout I decided to twist it a bit and do a December Daily type layout. I don't have the stamina to stick with an entire album devoted to the month of December but it is a special month with so many fun things going on so I decided this would be the perfect way to jot down some of our holiday memories.

I did a square for every day in December up to Christmas - I made sure that the weekend days were full circles for journalling as that's when we'll do the bulk of our Holiday activities - I'm actually not sure on a normal "work day" what I'll write but maybe a little note about listening to Xmas music etc - I'm sure I'll find something. 

Supply list:

Patterned paper: Bazzill Basics Holiday Style

Cardstock: Kraft

Stickers: We R Memory keepers

Letter stickers: October Afternoon

Costco gift tag (pine cone)

Here is my take on this fun sketch!! I reversed it and played with contrasts from my Echo Park paper collection and I also tried to keep it simple. The papers are so beautiful and delicate, I didn't want to overcroud them. I cut 3 small circles to glue under my clear dew drops to bring back the pattern, I'm in love with that green paper!!!

Papers: Echo Park - Season's Greetings Collection and green, white Bazzil cardstock.

Inks: Brown and green Cat's Eye chalk inks.

Ornaments: 3 large clear dew drops, Brown and green ribbon, miscelaneous flowers, leaves, letters, buttons and rub-ons, and a shrink plastic clock from Kimmiprout.

I used Glossy Accents on the light bulbs across the top, cut small strips of the striped paper to make my own xmas tree. I put a piece of cardboard in the bottom of the bottle cap, topped with a small metal tree charm, added some gems and then poured in some Glossy Accents.

Products used:

Paper - Echo Park Holly Jolly Christmas

Maya Rd. bottle cap and pink trim

Glossy Accents

Misc. Gems, cardstock and lettering; metal tree in bottle cap

Here is my layout. I love this sketch so much that I hardly modified my take of it. Of course I had to move things a bit to accommodate for the GORGEOUS detail on my background paper from My Mind's Eye - Lost & Found collection (Blush) but it's pretty close, I find that we can clearly see the inspiration the sketch brought!

Papers: My Mind's Eye - Lost & Found Two Collection (Blush), Bazzill cardstock

Inks: Plum Cat's Eye chalk inks

Ornaments: Paper ornaments, acrylic stamps (Butterflies and small bird cage) and brads are all from My Mind's Eye - Lost & Found Two Collection, miscellaneous yellow-pink ribbons and transparency

Design Team Monday!

At the fabulous suggestion of the Head Turtle herself, the team is working with a double-page sketch this time around.  I am sure we all have events where we have taken so many pictures that it is just too hard to narrow it down.  That's where 2-page multiple photo layouts come in!! 

Cherie found this fabulous one at Sketch Support.  Gotta love those banners that are so very popular right now!
